Straight out of Tampa Bay, Anam Cara is an energetic mixture of metal, melodies, and heavy breakdowns. This Florida band is exactly that, a hardcore band whos sound is established in the influence of Florida's music scene that has produced bands like Strongarm, Poison the Well, Further Seems Forever, and Underoath. But while Anam Cara is a self proclaimed "Florida Hardcore Band" they are stylisticly different from their peers.
Since their signing with Strike first in 2004 Anam Cara has re-formed with a new solid and dedicated line up. Anam Cara has been writting more mature and energetic music reflecting the bands attitude and experiences and will be starting 2006 with the release of their first full length album.
